After some research, it appears that I had a visit from a small flock of
Pine Siskins (carduelus pinus)!They were finches, not sparrows.
I have heard that a spotted towhee and varied thrush have been spotted in the area, so I eagerly await their appearance at my feeder.

Lucky you. You have some classic Pacific Northwest birds, even though some of them travel south for awhile in winter.
Just saw some varied thrushes in Mendocino County (Calif) last week while on vacation. What a great yard bird!
And glad you solved your bird mystery.
